Nebraska-Omaha Hoops Star Saves Driver from Sinkhole

Nebraska-Omaha women's basketball player Olivia Borsutzki and teammate Esra Kurban sprang into action to rescue a trapped driver after a sinkhole swallowed two vehicles at an intersection.

Borsutzki was stopped at a red light when the ground opened up, swallowing an SUV and a pickup truck. Despite bystanders filming the incident, the players left their car to pull the SUV driver to safety.

City officials attributed the incident to a water main break, leaving a hole 30-50 feet wide. Borsutzki expressed frustration that others stood by filming rather than helping, noting she initially assumed grown men would intervene.
